Update Your Abode With These Contemporary and Chic Kitchen Trends

The fall season is the perfect time to think about updating your kitchen as it will be the center of attention once again as kids head back to school and fall activities return. 

A kitchen update does not have to break the bank.  You can replace and update gradually depending on your budget and lifestyle.   If you are planning to put your house on the market just know that the kitchen is the most important room that buyers consider when purchasing a home so updating it will be well worth it.  

CONTEMPORARY KITCHEN TRENDS

Matte Black

This ultra-modern color will take your outdated kitchen finishes to the next level.  You can choose this color for your faucet, dishwasher, cabinet knobs, and sink.  It will certainly transform your kitchen instantly.  

Blue Cabinets

Most people love the color blue, so why not give your cabinets a refresh and paint it this charming color.  You can choose from light blue, dark blue, gray-blue, or anything in between.  Blue goes well with neutral colors and metals.  

Bronze Appliances

If you are tired of the boring stainless steel appliances well you are in luck.  Bronze appliances are so very chic and will continue to be for years to come.  This hue adds a touch of class but is not gaudy by any means.  Check your favorite home appliance store for the details.  

Wood Accents

Adding wood accents to white kitchen cabinets elevates it by adding contrast and depth.  The wood also warms up the cold feel of white cabinets which is a definite plus.  So if you still love your white kitchen but you just want a little change, you can update it subtly by adding wood accents.  

Dramatic Backsplash

The subway tile kitchen backsplash has been the norm for many years, but recently there has been an influx of fun and dramatic backsplashes such as slab marble, slab quartz, painted glass, stainless steel, penny tiles, and bold colorful patterns.  Go for the type of backsplash that will match your home's aesthetic seamlessly.  

These kitchen trends have a lot of staying power and will definitely transform your kitchen into a chic welcoming space for the fall season ahead.  See below for photos:
